Editing Update: Problem Solving

After starting to colour grade all of our clips, we suddenly struck a problem surrounding the aspect of sending the file back to Final Cut Pro from Color.

The issue was that whem the footage arrived back onto Final Cut Pro, there were some clips missing and some which hadn't been colour graded. We believe this was due to a glitch in our computer, as all of the files were the correct type and there was no other obvious explanation.

To solve this, we had to find the missing clips and slot them back into their positions by looking back at the original sequence (luckily we had saved a copy!) After we had put them back in their place, we had to individually put each one through Color, so this process was far more time consuming than we initially planned.

However, once this process was complete, we were really happy with the look of the footage. Beforehand we were unsure as to whether it all intertwined together well, but this must have been to lighting and colour issues, as when the filtered clips were finished, it had a much more professional feel to it.
